Thanks for the kind words chaps! Getting this finished is long overdue but it's proved very satisfying

Hey folks. Finally pulling my finger out on the jagdpanzer, I've added the barrel cleaning holders and antenna (?) holders. Primed in red oxide and then started the camo. Using the ak scratch and scuff fluid I stead of the usual hairspray. I've been impressed with the results, chips are smaller and there are less big chunks coming off. Also no wrinkling of the paint which sometimes happens when I use hairspray. I've used panzer putty to do the hard edged camo. Again very impressive. No bleed, goes on easy, no residue. Literally apply, spray and remove straight away!ImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImage

Great result with the AK chipping fluid Tom, the fine details in the paintwork really complement the fine details in the model. It's a great looking vehicle, a worthy stablemate for the late StuG you just finished!

Tom, the way you do scuffs and chips have always impressed me, but now that I've seen your cluttered cramped dark workstation, I really don't know how you do it, you must have the eyes of a cat or an owl.

Tremendous :clap: :clap: :clap:

You're seeing it on a fairly tidy day! I should really invest in some better lighting. The flourescent tubes do ok but it's a fair cry from natural light
